Cyclones Finish 16th at NCAA Central Regional

NORMAN, Okla. – The No. 22 Iowa State women’s golf team ended its season this afternoon, finishing 16th at the NCAA Central Regional in Norman, Okla. The Cyclones shot a three-round 903 tally, carding a final-round 302.

The top eight teams advanced to the NCAA Championship, May 21-24 in Athens, Ga. Despite falling shy of their goal, the Cyclones posted yet another successful season, recording the best finish in Big 12 Championship history (third) and earning a NCAA Regional berth for a school-record-tying fourth-straight season.

No. 3 Duke won the team title at 851, six shots better than Oklahoma (857).

Sophomore Chonlada Chayanun paced the Cyclones, tying for 42nd at 223 (73-76-74). Her final-round 74, which led all Cyclones today, featured three birdies.

Senior Punpaka Phuntumabamrung and Sasikarn On-iam both tied for 68th at 227. Phuntumabamrung will go down as one of the greatest Cyclones in school history. The senior star played in 136 career rounds, the most in school history, and her 74.35 stroke average this year is the lowest single-season scoring clip in the ISU record book.

Prima Thammaraks and Cajsa Persson rounded out the Cyclone scoring, finishing T73 and T90, respectively, with scores of 228 and 232.
